I've found it very helpful to verbalize the color, number , infraction, and the shooter's number in the event of a shot attempt at the spot of the foul. I do it on every foul I call.
In case something happens in between the time I call the foul and report it ( trash talk,..pick players up off the floor...whatever) ..all I have to do is repeat to the table what I said out loud the first time.
Also, if your partner is listening and you say it loud enough, it avoids the "Uh...Uhhh...who did I call the foul on?" "Who is the shooter?"
It's been recommended at the camps I've been at (in Houston), and it really helps when you get distracted before you report the foul to the table
